I'm the same, I have a friend who always refers to it before going to see a movie, although I think I've broken him out of that by pointing out the dodgy voting of Captain Marvel before it was released, although I'd mentioned the phenomenon to him before in the past, at least he's now he's actually taking stock of it and not thinking IMDB ratings are the be all and end all.I use the site, it has great information, I do not take any notice of the ratings.
My tastes are different to who ever votes, so irrelevant to me.
I stopped using IMDB when they stopped their film forum...
